Lesotho Council of NGOs to hold CSOs 2014 stakeholders meeting
Maseru - 19th November 2014: CSOs Health Advocacy
Forum under the auspices of Lesotho Council of NGOs
will hold a CSOs stakeholders meeting to assess the
impact of civil society on HIV and AIDS. The event
will be supported by the AIDS Health Care Foundation
Lesotho (AHF) at Lancers Inn from 26th - 27th November
2014 at 8.30am.
The purpose of the meeting is to amplify the voice
of CSOs nationally, record the key challenges encountered
and assess their contribution to the HIV and AIDS
agenda from 2010 to 2014. The meeting also seeks to
identify key strategies for enhancing the CSOs
contribution to the national response efforts and
develop a CSO Charter on HIV and AIDS, including
a declaration of commitment. The meeting will
further seek to get the CSOs Health Advocacy
Forum to support and adopt the 20/20 global
campaign initiated by AHF, in having 20 million
people on treatment by year 2020 as a building
block to the 90/90/90 targets by 2030.
Lesotho Council of NGOs (LCN) Health and Social
Development Commission established the Civil Society
Health Advocacy Forum in January 2014. The Forum
seeks to strengthen the commission's advocacy efforts
on health specific issues and enhance coordination
and collaboration among civil society organisations
(CSOs) working on health and HIV/AIDS in order to
support high quality service delivery and an
effective national response.
In Lesotho, AHF provides HIV Care services to serving men
and women and their families within the Police Service.
In collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MOH) in
Lesotho, the AHF commenced providing HIV Care Services
at its first centre at the Katlehong Clinic in Maseru
in 2013.
The meeting is a build up to the commemoration of
World AIDS Day; it will attract participation
from CSOs, government and the development partners.
